The Baltimore Ravens host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football to open Week 9 of the NFL season, with Lamar Jackson sidelined due to a thumb injury. Betting markets and AI-driven models are focusing on player props and same-game parlay (SGP) opportunities for the matchup.
SportsLine's Machine Learning AI model projects Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence to go under 237.5 passing yards (-114), a 4.5-star rated prop. Lawrence has gone under his passing yardage line in four straight games played in the United States, and with rain forecasted, the Jaguars are expected to lean heavily on the run game. Lawrence ranks 23rd in pass attempts despite leading the NFL in passer rating.
On the ground, Ravens running back Derrick Henry faces the Jaguars' top-ranked run defense and has not exceeded 58 rushing yards in his last three games. His prop line sits at 70.5 rushing yards, making the under an intriguing option. Meanwhile, Jacksonville rushed for 183 yards in its previous game, its most in 15 contests, while Baltimore allowed 146 rushing yards last week, its second-highest total in a year.
Two-way standout Travis Hunter, now also returning punts, is listed at +800 to score an anytime touchdown. The AI model has identified ten additional props rated four stars or better, several offering plus-money returns, for bettors constructing SGPs.
